"Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years." -Satoshi Nakamoto

The biggest loser today is Bitcoin Core. Any hope for salvaging it as an independent open source project is dead. Its capture by shitcoiners, suits, miners, and the woke dei dev class is complete.

The blocksize wars were a win for plebs against the suits and miners. The spam wars were a win for suits and miners and core devs over plebs. Bitcoin is now on the inevitable path towards Todd's publicly stated goal of tail emissions or demurrage, and the freezing of Satoshi's coins in the name of quantum FUD. The 21M fixed supply will eventually be broken and the same Core devs and their influencer suck-ups celebrating today will be cheering for it. Anyone who's happy that Bitcoin is now completely controlled by miners, suits, and the likes of Todd and Lopp is truly retarded. Today proved that plebs have no power which means a fundamental part of Bitcoin's value proposition has failed, and that is a tragedy.

2/3 multisig in an Unchained IRA vault with 2 cc mk4s, no spends ever and *probably* dice rolled keys (100+ rolls). No extra non-coldcard hw wallets on hand to quickly swap keys - new trezor is ordered but looking at 3 days for shipping. Send the coins to sparrow and eat the IRA early withdrawal penality ($10K+), or wait for the trezor?

Anyone know if the Unchained "coldcard office hours" email is legit (webinar invite)? Worried about phishing...

The four most important words in the English language: I do not comply

Sounds about right. It's been more about firing Core than anything else for me for a while. And now that the consortium is here that's even more true.

Sad to see Spirko is a coretard. Guess that's one more one inflooencer I'll never pay attention to again. Anyone who hasn't noticed the core side behaves as bad or worse than "110rs" is retarded.

Did they give a reason for the random selection? I assume it's to not give anyone a head start advantage. I don't know the technical merits of that guess, just speculating.

I've noticed lately the amount of projection from anti-110 people is staggering.

💯 I'm a C now, with the addition that I consider Core Bitcoin to be a shitcoin, and will only continue to degenerate. But since that's where most of my wealth is at the moment, I'll try to ride the pump for fiat gains until a viable hard money solution comes along. I must face the hard reality that I'm a degen shitcoin trader at least for the time being. The sad thing is that now I see other bitcoiners as just future bag holders, instead of comrades in arms against fiat. Maybe we will figure out uncorruptible hard money someday and be united again. Unfortunately I don't have much hope for what Luke's doing, but I'm willing to give him a chance and see how it plays out. But realistically we need a new champion.

Yeah, it's going to take precision and luck to dump at the right moment. It's entirely possible that moment is right now, in the near future, or further down the road. For now I'm willing to wait and see how the next six months to a year play out. That's the shitcoin reality we're all in now.

No because not enough plebs cared. That's the sad truth.

Yeah, I guess I was naively holding onto a thread of hope. It had so much promise once.

Good luck destroying fiat with Saylor.

No, spenders get something for nothing: deflation. Prices go down forever, and they don't even have to delay gratification like hodlers do.

Need a duress PIN that wipes but also unlocks to a clean, normal looking phone.
